Good 'ole Lungfishopolis. What do you think? LINDA IS HARD TO DRAW! ANY MISTAKES ARE MY OWN INTERPRETATIONS OF THE DESIGN, DAMMIT!

I love Linda! She's a sweetheart and she was completely screwed over by Oleander. Still, she appreciates Raz and helps him out of not only a sense of duty, but I like to believe a genuine compassion. Her mind isn't the deepest in the story, only because the entire conflict of it is brainwashing, which inherently removes autonomy from her own mind. Still, there's a lot of great details. The resistance obviously represents the part of Linda's mind that is resisting Oleander and they seem so peeved with Raz? I take this to mean that the part of her that's resisting is just so pesimistic; just trying to survive the next event and kind of anti-everything? That's a loose interpretation, though, and I'm open to different suggestions. I think my two favorite parts of Linda's mind are the wonderful, 'She's more scared of you than you are of her," And then Raz being a giant monster in her mind (which is an obvious, but fun visual interpretation as well as fun gameplay wise), and the fact that (and this may be a stretch, but I like it), the resistance's method of 'taking back the city' is through verbal persuasion (pamplets) rather than brute force, because that's all Linda can really do. She isn't psychich herself, can't go in and beat of Kochamara like Raz did. She can only talk herself down. Brainwashing isn't a violent act but a mental one, and she's employing the same method onto her inner lungfish. I dunno. It's small, and could be unintentional, but I love it.

What's your favorite part about Linda and/or Lungfishopolis?

This is unfinished and won't be finished (because I'm unhappy with it), and will likely be redrawn sometime soon, but I'm posting it anyway because I just spent 4 hours on it and even failures should be shared if you put that much time into it :(. Constructive critism welcome and appreciated. If you have any ideas for Gristol's mind for my 2nd attempt, I'd love that.

ALL of my MLP drawings because I want to share them but don't want to post them all individually. Most are self explanatory. I toom all of the drawings w/o a background and crammed them into one image. Other than that, the one with the purple background is Pinkie dressed up as Surprise (her original design before Hasbro made Faust change it). The scenes w/ Fluttershy stressed about her element and Rarity calming her down are for a mini AU I made where Fluttershy was too cowardly to take up the mantle and it caused a lot of serious harm.

Inside Gloria's Mind.

I love Psychonauts! What's your favorite part of Gloria's mind? Mine is a little weird, but it's this one line of dialoge that The Phantom says in the catwalk section if Raz falls. "Ha. Just like Gloria’s mother!" At first, it's a terrible line from a terrible character... Until you realize that he's a part of Gloria, her inner critic, and everything he says reflects what she sees as her own personal failings. Combined with the fact that we know Gloria loved her mother, her mother committed s***cide, and that it is heavily implied that it was because of jealousy over Gloria's success, Gloria clearly blames herself for her mother's death and taunts herself in her own mind. That's my interpretation of it, at least, and it's my favorite part of Gloria's Theatre, even if it's such a small detail.
